Are Live Nation on the verge of announcing one of the world's biggest
bands, KISS, for a Hard Rock Calling headline performance at London's
Olympic Park this summer?

At the end of last week, Live Nation
announced they had secured London's Olympic Park and Stadium for future
live music events. The Live Nation move to the Olympic Park
marks the end of a 10-year deal with The Royal Parks. Last year, Live
Nation had to deal with a number of complaints from local residents
about the noise levels surrounding Hyde Park during events. You may
recall Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney being "cut-off" after their
show over-ran last summer.

With the annual Wireless Festival
and Hard Rock Calling - both of which were previously staged at London's
Hyde Park - already confirmed for the brand new venue, glam-rock
legends KISS are rumoured to be this year's headliners for the Hard Rock
Calling event.

Live Nation have already confirmed they plan to
announce "some major concerts with world-renowned artists" over the
next few weeks, could KISS be one of the first big acts to be announced?

UK fans have been anticipating a new tour announcement from KISS for a
while. The band performed an intimate fundraiser gig for the Help for
Heroes charity in London last summer, following the cancellation of
Sonisphere Festival, a festival they were due to headline. Ever since,
the band have set tongues wagging about a return to the UK and the
possibility of a full UK tour to support their most recent album
'Monster'.

Kiss have remained tight-lipped about a UK visit and
nothing has been officially confirmed by both the band or Live Nation,
however, KISS have toured America, live shows have been confirmed for
Europe and the UK are still awaiting for that all important
announcement.
